Source summary
Indian Navy ships use Russian GTG-1250-2E gas-turbine generators whose imported DC starters provide the initial torque for defined cold and hot start cycles. The challenge asks for one indigenous starter matching the installed unit's form, fit and function, to be evaluated in trials on an overhauled generator at Eksila in Visakhapatnam before possible replacement use.
